Roytech simulation guide
Free browser simulations for curious learners and classroom exploration. Start with a question, change one variable, and compare what happens.
Each link opens the lab with an experiment selected. Press Run sim, then use the controls to explore. Pause or step through the motion for a closer look.
Explore how gravity and motion shape an orbit. Compare circular, elliptical, and faster starting conditions.
Try this: Keep the starting radius fixed and change the speed. How does the path change?
Try the orbital mechanics simulationFollow a projectile through its flight and explore the relationship between launch angle, speed, and gravity.
Try this: Compare two launch angles at the same speed. Which travels farther?
Try the projectile motion simulationWatch waves from different sources overlap and form patterns. Adjust the frequency or number of sources to explore the result.
Try this: Switch from one source to two. Where do waves reinforce or cancel each other?
Try the wave interference simulationExplore how local reactions and diffusion create evolving spots, stripes, and other patterns.
Try this: Compare the stripes and spots templates. How do their patterns develop over time?
Try the Turing patterns simulationExplore a visual model of interference in a double-slit experiment, then compare it with the lab's other quantum demonstrations.
Try this: Change the slit spacing and compare the resulting interference pattern.
Try the double-slit simulationWatch a grid of cells evolve through simple local rules. Explore how small starting patterns can produce surprising behavior.
Try this: Pause the simulation and advance one step at a time. Predict which cells will change next.
Try the Game of Life simulationBuild a proof from its premises to its conclusion, one justified step at a time. Start with beginner logic puzzles, or explore the full interactive Proof Lab.
No. The simulations run in your browser with no signup or installation. JavaScript must be enabled to run the interactive experiments.
Ask learners to make a prediction first. Change one setting, run the experiment, and discuss what changed. Use Expand for a larger view or export a snapshot to discuss later.
These are simplified educational models for exploration. Discuss their assumptions and compare observations with the theory you are studying.
